“Wonderful dog walker. Treated my beagle with such care. Very sweet. My dog took to her immediately. She made sure he went potty and gave him snacks. Highly recommend! :)”

“Alyssia is very professional and communicative! She takes photos of my baby on every walk and it makes me feel so much better about having to leave him at home while I work because I know he’s getting all the exercise and social interaction he needs/deserves! Would definitely recommend her!!”


“Alyssa was flexible with our crazy Navy scheduling and constantly sent funny/cute pictures of our pup while she let him out around lunch. Would highly recommend!! She will love your pup as much as you do!!”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was 10! I was a dog walker from a young age and helped take care of even exotic animals such as a kangaroo! I also learned how to care for elderly animals, and even dogs that require shots. I currently work in a flexible job that allows me to take breaks during the day to check in on animals as needed! I also have Friday - Sunday off! I will ensure the safety of your pet and home by checking in on the home as requested. I will be outside with your pet anytime they are.
“She was great with my dog and sent lots of pictures! She was very flexible and helpful every step of the process! I would definitely recommend her!”

“Ashlynn is great!! She’s super responsive and kind. I’ve been using her for about a month now and it makes me feel so much better that I have her to walk my sweet Penny when I am at work.”

About: Animals have always been at the heart of my life. I grew up rodeoing, got my very first pony when I was just five years old, and in high school I met my heart horse, Red, who truly cemented my love for animals. My very first pet pig came along in elementary school, and I’ve had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Now, as an adult, I get to continue surrounding myself with animals I adore—caring for my own chickens, ducks, a pig, a guinea pig, and of course, a loyal dog. With a lifetime of experience loving and caring for all kinds of animals, I bring that same dedication and compassion to caring for yours. I’m a stay-at-home mom whose little ones are just starting school, which has opened up a bit more time in my days. I’ve always loved being around animals, and since I’m home throughout the day, I enjoy the comfort and company they bring. Having this extra time allows me to focus on the things I love while still being present for my family. I believe that trust and safety are the foundation of great pet care, and I treat every animal with the same level of attention I give my own. Each of my outside pets has their own pen with a house, while indoors our dog has a kennel and our guinea pig enjoys a secure enclosure. I make sure all of my animals are safely closed in whenever we’re not home or able to supervise them, so their well-being is always protected. I would take the same care with my clients’ pets as I do with mine, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and cared for at all times.
About: Ever since i was a kid we have always had dogs and it was always my responsibility to care and love for our dogs and i enjoy doing it. i currently have 3 dogs an they are my world! i volunteer at the lenawee humane society. i love to go on jogs with dogs and take them to dog parks or just walk around at some local parks and socialize the dogs. I'm a stay at home mom so I'm always home an I am always free! I have plenty of time on my hands for pets I care for the dogs like they are my own children they will be loved an very well taken care of during there time here
About: Hi there! I’ve been passionate about dogs ever since my parents first brought a twin pair of golden retriever puppies into our family when I was a toddler, who I saw into their old age. I did the same with a black lab, and then my favorite dog of all, an Australian Cattle Dog, which I feel has given me a great deal of experience to handle any dog given their high level of need for structure and stimulation, both physically and mentally. I’ve scarcely ever had a time in my life where I haven’t owned a dog or cat, or my family hasn’t. I feel very in tune with dogs and their body language and needs. I love training them and exercise and exploring places is so much more fun with a dog trotting along! Outside of Rover, I work remotely which means I am available to hang out with your animal(s) at any time of day! And when it comes to boarding and day care, I have a lovely one story home with just myself and no personal pets currently, with a small yard and a walkable easygoing suburban neighborhood for the pup to explore around in! I am very observant to things such as health and behavioral issues, and am well versed in handling them promptly and delicately. I am very attentive to detail and confirm to the all schedules that clients set out for their pup's routines, from feeding times, to giving them their medicine, and so on. I always treat clients' homes and pets with the regard I do my own. I am available for drop-ins, and stays from days to months long. I have owned some of the most active dogs, including an Australian Cattle Dog, so I am very accustomed to frequent walks and exercise when needed for pups. I am very attentive to detail and confirm to the all schedules that clients set out for their pup’s routines, from feeding times, to giving them their medicine, and so on. I always treat clients’ homes and pets with the regard I do my own.
“Outstanding care and service! Communication was excellent, with regular updates and photos that gave us a peace of mind. Everything went without a hitch, and we will definitely book again with Tiffany! Highly Recommend!”

About: I have multiple pets of my own, 2 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, and a bearded dragon. I have taken care of or owned every type of pet and have worked with the animal shelter for a year. Family, friends, and neighbors trust me with theirs! I am free every morning and all day Tuesday and Sunday. If given more than a weeks notice then I can arrange my schedule for whatever works for you. I am very comfortable and confident around cats and dogs. A quick run down of the do’s and don’ts is usually enough for me to take very good care of your pets!
About: I've had dogs most of my adult life and many cats. Your pet will be loved and played with by me and my two homeschooled, pet loving boys.

About: I’ve grown up around all types of pets throughout my life. Dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, reptiles; you name it! I’ve worked professionally with animals for almost 8 years now and it’s been so much fun getting to meet new fur friends! I recently moved to Norfolk for school, so I’m looking to hopefully get back into pet sitting 😄 I have classes throughout the week but they end by 3pm everyday. My weekends are generally free and I will try to make my schedule as flexible as possible Since I live in a dorm, I would not be bringing pets here, but I have come to and stayed at many different clients homes. I always make sure to clean up after myself and the pets plus leave things the same or better than how I found them!

“Christopher and Leslie are professional, they're skilled at handling dogs, and my dogs love them. Even our two very shy dogs warmed up to them quickly. (And my cats, who were not part of the booking, also were happy to say hi to them. They're obviously cat people, too!) They were happy to accommodate some last-minute changes to the bookings, which I appreciated very much. I will definitely book them again when I need help.”

“Ally was a weekly dog walker for me when needed. She communicated well and was great with my small dog. He warmed right up to her in no time. Highly recommend!!”
